New Delhi

Located 16 km from New Delhi city centre, the Indira Gandhi International Airport offers multiple transportation options for travellers. The high-speed Delhi Metro Rail connects the airport to the city via the Airport Express Line. The Airport Express Line or the 'Orange' Line links Dwarka Sector 21 to the New Delhi Railway Station, providing a swift and efficient travel time of around 23 minutes. For those preferring direct access, taxis are readily available just outside the baggage claim area of the terminals. And for a more cost-effective option, the shuttle bus facility is an excellent choice, with services running every 30 minutes. These buses connect the airport to central locations in Delhi, including Connaught Place and the Interstate Bus Terminal.

The bus system in New Delhi is an affordable way to navigate the city, offering extensive routes that cover numerous destinations. However, taking a bus in New Delhi can be challenging for visitors due to the city's bustling traffic and the often crowded buses. The city's buses come in red and green, with the main hub being the Delhi Inter State Bus Terminal, conveniently located north of the Old Delhi train station.

In New Delhi, rickshaws are a popular and economical mode of transport, offering a unique and flexible way to navigate the city's busy streets. There are two main types: cycle rickshaws and auto rickshaws. Cycle rickshaws are human-powered and ideal for short distances or navigating narrow lanes, while auto rickshaws are motorised and suitable for longer trips or more bustling routes. Auto rickshaws are typically metered, but it's wise to confirm the meter is running or agree on a fare before starting your journey to avoid disputes. Many drivers are also open to negotiation, particularly for longer routes or during heavy traffic.
